communication networks are increasingly becoming susceptible
to more sophisticated and untraceable attacks. Most of the current
Intrusion Detection Systems either focus on just one layer of
observation or use a limited number of metrics without proper
data fusion techniques. However, the true status of a network is
rarely accurately detectable by examining only one network
layer. This paper describes a synergistic approach of fusing decisions
of whether an attack takes place by using multiple measurements
from different layers of wireless communication networks.
The described method is implemented on a live system
that monitors a wireless network in real time and gives an indication
of whether a malicious frame exists or not. This is achieved
by analysing specific metrics and comparing them
against historical data. The proposed system assigns for each
metric a belief of whether an attack takes place or not. The beliefs
from different metrics are fused with the Dempster-Shafer
technique with the ultimate goal of limiting false alarms by combining
beliefs from various network layers. The on-line experimental
results show that cross-layer techniques and data fusion
perform more efficiently compared to conventional methods.
